Straw Handbag Planter

By Ana

I found this cute straw handbag for near to nothing. It has a great look and can be useful in a fun way as a garden planter wreath. Add a simply lining (if using live flowers) or not if artificial flowers that can get changed out with the different seasons are chosen. I wanted to give it a more fresh look, so it was updated with spray paint, colorful ribbon, and flowers.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

By attosa

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boat on plateI love spaghetti squash. It's easy to cook, has a great texture, swaps out a bunch of my favourite carb-heavy pastas, and is packed with awesome nutrients. Here, I've turned them into lasagna boats using my homemade tomato sauce. The alternating layers of squash, sauce, and cheese are so comforting. I used pepperoni sticks in the sauce because they give it the most amazing smoky flavour and smell. You can use any meat you like, or skip it and go vegetarian.
